Royal Ontario MuseumThe pride of this large and varied museum is the golden mosaic
ceiling inside the main entrance to the building in Queen's Park,
Toronto. The ceiling is adorned with patterns and symbols
representing cultures from around the world throughout the ages,
and is made from cut squares of imported Venetian glass. The museum
consists of three buildings housing 200,000 square feet (18,581 sq
m) of galleries and exhibitions. The more than 40 galleries
showcase art, archaeology and science exhibits. Among the most
popular are dinosaurs, galleries of Chinese Art, a bat cave, a gem
and gold room, exhibits about Ancient Egypt and Nubia, and the
Samuel European Galleries.
